PPS. Explicit use of GG's qualifiers is ugly and takes too much space. Some kind of abstraction-scoped "import" mechanism would be necessary, anyway ([declare]?).
Hi,
I have an external lying around called [using], which implements the scoping on a global level. I agree that having it per abstraction would be better. I think Krzysztof's analysis of the technical problems is to the point, nothing that can't be solved, but to make it consistent for all types of externals and libraries we would need some changes. Anyhow, as the scoping problem exists for abstractions too, it would be a good idea to solve this inside Pd some day, with [declare], [using] [import] or whatever it will be called.
